2011-01-25x86-64, mem: Convert memmove() to assembly file and fix return value bugFenghua Yu
memmove_64.c only implements memmove() function which is completely written in inline assembly code. Therefore it doesn't make sense to keep the assembly code in .c file. Currently memmove() doesn't store return value to rax. This may cause issue if caller uses the return value. The patch fixes this issue.

2010-09-24x86, mem: Optimize memmove for small size and unaligned casesMa Ling
movs instruction will combine data to accelerate moving data, however we need to concern two cases about it. 1. movs instruction need long lantency to startup, so here we use general mov instruction to copy data. 2. movs instruction is not good for unaligned case, even if src offset is 0x10, dest offset is 0x0, we avoid and handle the case by general mov instruction.

2010-08-23x86, mem: Don't implement forward memmove() as memcpy()Ma, Ling
memmove() allow source and destination address to be overlap, but there is no such limitation for memcpy(). Therefore, explicitly implement memmove() in both the forwards and backward directions, to give us the ability to optimize memcpy().
